I understand they are looking for a good home but why would you want to give away your pet. I understand that there are long quarantine periods but what happens when no one responds to an ad on Freecycle and it's time to go. What do you do with the cat then? You take it to the shelter or leave it go or whatever. Please don't take what I'm saying the wrong way but it just doesn't seem right for people to try to give their cats away for free.
